Honda’s Pilot SUV in the US is about to be replaced by an all-new model, and the Japanese carmaker has outlined some of the new features customers can expect.

Unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show, the third-generation Pilot brings an upgraded 3.5 litre V6 petrol engine producing 209kW, along with new six- and nine-speed automatic transmissions.

The Pilot will be available in seven trim levels, with the entry-level LX and range-topping Elite bookending the line-up.
